Lids - 2007 Brownlow Smokey
« on: June 25, 2007, 11:49:12 AM »
anyone else think that Lids could be a real smokey for the Brownlow.

I think he is an excellent outside chance and might take a punt on him

To this stage IMO he could have as much as 7 brownlow votes

Rd 2 vs Sydney - 1 vote
Rd 7 vs PA - 1 vote
Rd 9 vs Essendon - 3 votes (Hird as BOG  :banghead)
Rd 12 vs Melbourne - 2 votes

He is carrying great form into the 2nd half of the season and could definitely rack up a few more brownlow votes. And if he doesn't win it this year there is always next year  :cheers

No chance, but it will be interesting to see if he attracts umpires attention in a losing team.

If he does, then he's a chance when we have a better season.

My first post was a bit tongue in cheek, because Lids most likely won't win it.

But I feel that a top 10 finish is not beyond him this year

IMO Richo will be our best vote getter. Just busts his guts out every week and would be close to the 3 votes last Friday night. Foley could be a show but it might take another year before the umps recognise him. Defenders usual miss out so Polak despite his form may not get too many votes.

Lids plays a flashy game through the midfield, IMO would be noticed more than Richo

I would think that Foley would be the smokey :thumbsup
